Arrogant Wife Forcing Marriages (Indonesia)
Side Story 6 (Happiness or Sadness)
"Yin.jiao"
The little girl opened her eyes in doubt. He was afraid that the warmth shown by his new father would disappear. But his new papa voice kept on being heard calling his name. Jiao slowly opened her eyes.
"Papa"
Jiao called out the word hesitantly. Li Yongfan smiled.
"It's already noon. You missed breakfast, didn't you? You must be hungry, right? Wash your face and go down"
Jiao nodded. Li Yongfan then left his room. Jiao was still in her place. The little girl began to realize that it was not a dream.
***
Li Yongfan put a few pieces of meat on his daughter's plate. The servants who saw it felt doubtful of their sight. They did not expect their master who was cold to be so gentle with the young lady. But they are also happy for their young lady.
"Papa, that's enough. It's too much"
"Papa will make you gain weight. Eat a lot"
Jiao picked up the chopsticks and fed Li Yongfan.
"Papa ate too"
Li Yongfan accepted his daughter's bribe. She rubbed her hair lovingly.
"Jiao jiao, after this how about we go out?"
"But isn't papa busy?"
"Yes, papa's job is done. So you want to, don't you?"
Jiao nodded.
***
Li Yongfan took Jiao to a mall. Li Yongfan clasped Jiao's hand tightly as the little girl did not want him to carry.
Li Yongfan took her to the doll shop. Jiao's room doesn't have many toys so she wants to buy him toys and she thinks girls must love dolls.
Jiao saw that there were many dolls. Li Yongfan asked her to choose the doll she wanted. Jiao looked around. He was confused to choose.
Jiao looked at the kangaroo doll that had a small kangaroo in its pouch. He remembered about the sketching that his teacher had taught him. He took the kangaroo doll.
"You like this?"
Jiao nodded.
"Do you want to buy another doll? It's okay to buy a lot"
Jiao shakes. He doesn't want to be extravagant.
"All right"
Li Yongfan asked the employee to wrap it up and he paid for it.
Li Yongfan and Jiao continued walking around. They went to the accessories store. Li Yongfan accompanied his daughter to choose. Jiao is in a crown-shaped bando. Li Yongfan watched him then he picked up the bando and put it on.
"Papa's daughter is very pretty"
"What if we buy a dress that fits this crown?"
"No need papa. The crown and the beautiful dress are only suitable for the princess"
"Jiao jiao, you're even prettier than every other princess. Papa can make you a princess if you want"
"Is that true, papa?"
Li Yongfan nodded. Jiao finally agreed to buy it. Li Yongfan then took Jiao to the children's clothing store. She asked an employee to show her beautiful dresses.
Jiao looked at the beautiful dresses shown in front of her.
"Pick and try"
"Papa, is it okay if Jiao wears this dress?"
"Of course"
Li Yongfan asked the employee to accompany his daughter to change clothes. Jiao followed the employee.
"Uncle Fan?"
The voice of a child with a different accent from the people B city called him. Li Yongfan looked at the blond girl with a boy.
"Helena, little queen"
"Papa Fan, what are you doing here?"
"I'm accompanying..."
"Papa"
Li Yongfan had not yet finished his speech due to Jiao's call. The little girl who was now wearing a pink dress stood in front of them.
Li Yongfan, Helena and Li Huan Rui looked at him.
"Jiao jiao you're so pretty"
Jiao-jiao who previously lowered her head now looked ahead. He only realized that not only was his current father seeing him but also his angel and prince.
"Miss"
Jiao said it unconsciously as she looked at Helena.
"Eh? Are you that little girl?"
Helena recognized the voice and the call.
"Helena, do you know my daughter?"
"So this little girl is uncle's daughter huh?"
"Yes right"
"Oh yeah, you're called Jiao right? Jiao you're so beautiful like a princess"
"Allow Henry"
Li Huan Rui who had previously looked at Jiao now turned his eyes away.
"It's just normal"
Jiao was disappointed. Li Yongfan was unhappy with his nephew's response.
"Jiao jiao don't listen to him. Little Rui had a poor judgment about beauty"
"Papa, what does that mean? My judgment is always accurate. She doesn't fit in that dress"
Li Huan Rui was annoyed. Looks like this woman began to get the affection of her papa fan as well until Papa Fan was more defending the thief girl. Even though the girl did look beautiful still a lowly girl like her did not fit in that beautiful and expensive dress.
"Rui, don't act like that to your brother"
Li Yongfan reprimanded Li Huan Rui.
"Brother? He's not my brother. Come on, Helena "
Li Huan Rui took Helena by the hand and took her away without saying goodbye to Li Yongfan.
"Jiao, don't be sad. Little Rui always spoke "
"It's okay papa. I got it"
Li Yongfan asked to wrap all the dresses. Jiao went to change her clothes even though Li Yongfan asked her to wear the dress alone but Jiao refused.
***
Jiao and Li Yongfan went to the foodcort to rest and Li Yongfan bought Jiao ice cream.
"Papa"
"Yes"
"Why did master Li Huan Rui call you papa?"
" it's because papa took care of Li Huan Rui since childhood. Maybe because of the habit he often called papa with the name papa"
"Rui is always cold to women even though he is close to Helena but he is also sometimes still cold. He can't understand women so don't think too much about it"
"Other times papa will rebuke him so as not to be rude to you. Maybe it'd be better if you guys got along and became brothers"
Jiao wanted to respond to him but she undoed her intentions. Li Yongfan rubbed the edges of his daughter's troubled lips.
Li Yongfan smiled, he felt that having a daughter was indeed fun and also his daughter was very worrisome. He did not know what the man was thinking until he treated his daughter badly.
"After this, is there any place you want to go?"
Jiao groans.
"Well, my daughter must be tired, right? We're going home"
***
Li Huan Rui and Helena were in the car belonging to the Helena family. Li Huan Rui ignored Helena who just kept talking about the little girl named Jiao.
"Oh yeah, Henry why are you being so cold to her? I know you must think she's pretty, right? "
"I see you don't even blink when I look at him"
"Don't talk nonsense. A duck won't turn into a goose just because of nice clothes"
Helena frowned. He did not understand what Rui was talking about.
"Isn't the parable wrong? Shouldn't...."
"Here you go, stop talking about that little girl in front of me"
Li Huan Rui uttered it in a cold tone. Helena felt strange about Li Huan Rui's attitude, even though the man was usually cold but he was never rude. Helena finally chose not to talk about Jiao anymore.
Helena initially felt worried when she saw the eyes of Henry who looked fascinated by the beauty of Jiao. Helena initially thought that Jiao would be her rival. But looking at Henry's attitude and also his reaction when he talked about Jiao to memamcing it. Helena didn't know if she should feel relieved because the girl who was even more beautiful than her couldn't attract her Henry's attention. Helena smiled thinking about that.
***
Jiao did not know why her body became tired even more quickly she became sleepy when tired. Jiao fell asleep in the car.
Li Yongfan occasionally glanced at his daughter. Jiao was indeed quiet, in contrast to Mo An An when she was a child who did not stop to talk when she was with him.
Li Yongfan realized that maybe his daughter had a deep trauma that changed the character of a childish little girl into a more loner. Li Yongfan wanted to make her forget that pain and start giving her happiness.
Li Yongfan stopped his car in front of the house. She held her little daughter slowly.
When Li Yongfan entered he was greeted by Mo An An.
"Suami, what did you do to my daughter?"
"Sst, he's sleeping"
"Let me move it"
"Let me. You just got home, didn't you? You must be tired"
Li Yongfan brought Jiao to his room. Mo An An who was left was astonished to see Li Yongfan's attitude change to his daughter.
***
Li Yongfan walked into his room, Mo An An was also there.
"An, I agreed to include Jiao on the list"
"Are you serious? Why suddenly?"
"I already know what happened to her and after all she's your daughter isn't she ? So I'll respond to my daughter too"
Mo An An smiled. He hugged Li Yongfan.
"Thank you, husband"
"No need to say that. I'm happy to have a beautiful daughter like Jiao as my daughter"
***
The family of young master Li had dinner together.
"Darling, I heard from your dad going to the mall. What did you buy?"
"The kangaroo doll, then papa also bought a jiao bando crown and a dress"
"Mama wants to see my daughter wear a dress and a crown. What if after dinner you showed me"
Jiao hesitated but eventually she nodded in unwillingness to see her mother disappointed.
***
Mo An An praised the beauty of her little princess who wore a dress and crown bando.
"Darling, you're so pretty "
"Thank you mama"
"How about your mom take a picture of you?"
Jiao nodded. Mo An An took a picture of his daughter. He asked his daughter to smile but it was too difficult for Jiao who had suppressed her emotions to smile easily.
Mo An An was a little disappointed but he did not want to force his daughter. He showed the photo to Jiao. Mo An An wanted to upload it on the weibo account but he could not do it. She fears the truth about her daughter is known. Not only was she afraid of losing her career but she also did not want them to disturb her daughter. But Mo An An might introduce her in public at the right time.
Mo An An's phone rang. He took his phone and looked at the rows of numbers. He answers.
"Hallo"
"...."
"What's? Bai Yuchen killed herself?"
Mo An An was too shocked that he could not control his tone. He looked towards his daughter who only showed a flat expression as usual.
"..."
"We'll come tomorrow"
Mo An An then turned off the phone.
"Mama, what papa.died"
Mo An An nodded slowly. He hugged his daughter. She did not know what her daughter was feeling at the moment because her daughter did not show much expression. But Mo An An knew after all that Bai Yuchen was his real father, his daughter and the man were still bound by blood. Her daughter must be sad and devastated by the sudden death of her father even though her father had behaved badly to her but the older Bai Yuchen along with her daughter this must have affected her daughter's mood.
Jiao simply remained silent in Mo An An's embrace. He showed no sadness or anything, his gaze just blankly looking ahead.
***
Li Yongfan accompanied his wife and daughter to Bai Yuchen's final resting place. Li Yongfan had taken care of his funeral. Although he hates her but after all he is the real father of his daughter.
The funeral was not attended by many people. Although Mo An An had already contacted Bai's family but no one cared about their son whom they had cast out. Li Yongfan felt sympathy for Bai Yuchen.
Li Yongfan turned his head towards his daughter who only looked blankly at Bai Yuchen's photo. No one knew what the girl was feeling right now.
'Bai Yuchen, have you seen her? Your daughter can't even shed a single tear. You've made him bury all his emotions so he can't show his sadness'
Li Yongfan felt angry at the man but the man had now become ashes.
Shen Fengyin, Li YongSheng and Li Huan Rui attended the funeral. Although they had no relationship with Bai Yuchen, however, Bai Yuchen was Mo An's ex-husband and the father of the little girl who started to take their attention. Li Huan Rui was actually reluctant to come but his mother forced him to come along. Li Huan Rui looked towards the little girl. He heard that the buried man was the girl's real father but the girl did not even show any expression. He didn't even cry to see his father buried. Li Huan Rui frowned looking at the attitude of the girl. What the girl did not have feelings even she still showed her flat expression even though her biological father died.
The mourners left. Mo An An invited his daughter to leave. She tried to comfort her daughter but she did not get any response. There was only a flat expression and a blank look of eyes shown by his daughter.Mo An An became sad because he did not know how to contact his daughter.
***
"I feel sorry for xiao jiao. He must be depressed right now"
"Yes"
Li YongSheng focused on driving and occasionally responded to his wife.
"Cold girl like her how could she feel sad. If someone is sad he will definitely cry but he does not cry. The girl had no feelings even for her own father"
"Li Huan Rui watch your words. Don't think badly of Jiao"
Shen Fengyin rebuked her son.
"You always defended him. Shitty
